Today in Canada is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We know the awful truth of what happened to Indigenous persons at residential schools, and the generational impact this trauma had inflicted upon these communities is still felt today. Reconciliation requires actions, not just reflection

Coal mining until 2136. That's 110 more years. The Trump admin just greenlit a permit letting the Navajo Nation expand a New Mexico mine, but Navajo families living near the site could still be uprooted from their homes. www.kjzz.org/tribal-natur...

The federal agency’s action — published Tuesday — contends that its decision is intended to “encourage energy production” in the midst of Trump’s self-declared national energy emergency.
